I
am a self taught artist drawing on and off since I was 5 years old. Pencil
sketching is a form of meditation that helps calm my mind and focus. My
favorite subjects to draw are people and animals.

Pets
give us Love and Joy from an unlimited wellspring, asking for little in
return. I've been surrounded by ( and sometimes inundated with ) cats
and dogs my entire life. Where my love for them came from, I cannot say;
it's always been within me since early childhood, perhaps carried over
from Past Lives.

I'm
living proof anyone can draw. You don't need to be born with " the
gift " or an extensive education. All you need is desire, along with
discipline to sketch what you see with your eyes, as opposed to what you
think you should be drawing with your mind. And sketching materials that
perform to your satisfaction, not necessarily expensive art supplies.

Art
is a historical record of Humankind's generosity to itself. While we create
for personal to selfish reasons, the end result is ultimately meant as
a gift for others to enjoy. Artists aim to entertain and bring you pleasure,
while only hoping for the opportunity to continue doing so.

Proceeds
from sales of my art and any donations received go toward tending to the
daily needs of 60+ outdoor farm cats, as well as a handful of special
needs cats taken into our home.
